OIL-BURNER.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 396,525, dated January22, 1889.

Application filed August 8, 1888. Seal No. 282,196. (No model.)

To @ZZ whom it may concern: the pipe B has the pipe F leading therefrom,Be it known that I, J AMES BAINS, of Oinand connected to the inner endof the retort cinnati, in the county of Hamilton and State next to thepipe B is the pipe G, which eX- of Ohio, have invented certain neT andusetends downward at its outer end, and is l 5 ful Improvements inOil-Burners; and I do connected to the outer end of the gasolineherebydeclare the following' to be a full, clear, burner I. This pipe G servesto convey the and exact description of the invention, such vaporgenerated from the gasoline into the as will enable others skilled inthe art to retort, so as to cause it to mix with the vapor which itpertains to make and use it, refergenerated from the oil, and thus forma mix- 6o 1o ence being had to the accompanying drawture which will givea much more intense ings, which form part of this specification. heatthan the vapor generated from the oil My invention relates to animprovement in alone or the gasoline alone. Also extending oil-burnersfor stoves and grates; and the obdownward from this retort E is a pipe,H, jects of my invention are to burn both oil and which is connected tothe rectangular pipe L. 15 gasoline together for the purpose of not onlyThis pipe L is perforated upon one or both of producing a more intenseheat for cooking its sides and forms the burner. `Where only and heatingpurposes, but to produce a vaone side is perforated, as is here shown,the por, which is especially adapted for illumiremaining portion of thispipe forms a renating purposes, and to provide regulating ceiver, inwhichthe vaporand oil are held until 7o 2o pipes or Vopenings forconveying the oil and burned. A screw-threaded opening is made vapor tothe vaporizer, so that the vapor can in this pipe L at M, so that asafety-valve, or pass into the vaporizer above the oil. pipe to which asafety-valve is attached, may Figures 1 and 2 are side elevations of thebe used, and thus prevent any accident in burner embodying my invention,taken from case the burner should become clogged at any 25 oppositesides.

Leading from the bottom of tendsfrom the bottom of this tank or reserthis tank N is the pipe O, Which isprovided voir for conveying the oil to the burner, and with thetwostop-cocks P Q, the same as the which is provided with the stop-cock Cfor pipe B. The inner end of the pipe O is per- 3 5 regulating theflouof oil to the burner. This forated, so as to form a gasoline-burner,I, and

stop-cock is provided with a suitable indiextending from the inner endof the gasolinecator--such asis generally used-so as to inburner is thepipe G, as already described, for dicate the tloW through the pipe B.Also placed carrying off all surplus vapor from this burner, in thispipe B is a second stop-cock, D, for so as to mingle it in the retort Ewith the va- 9o 4o the purpose of preventing more than a cerpor of thehead-light, crude, or other oil. EX tain regulated quantity of oilflowing to the tending from this pipe O to any distance is a burner.This stop-cock Will be regulated at short pipe, R, upon Which a burner,S,shaped a certain safet T-point, and will not be changed like anozzleof a Wateringcan, is placed. This by those operating the burner. Shouldthe nozzle-shapedburner,bymeans of its jointed 45 stop-cock C be openedtoo Wide, this cock D pipe R, can be turned in any direction, so as willserve as a regulator to prevent accidents. to convey the flame or heat Yunder a pot or The inner end of the pipe B is connected vessel placedupon the stove. The pipe R is to the retort or chamber E, Which islocated made of a number of short sections, any one a suitable distanceabove the burner, and of which can be removed or replaced by othroo 5oin Which the vaporization of the oil takes ers, so as to bring theburne- S in any deplace.

This burnergives a special flame for any one vessel which is to beheated, and therefore is made so that it can be turned in any direction.

Extending from the inner end of the retort is a pipe, F, and upon thispipe F is placed a small chamber, U, from the inner end of wh ich 4theend of the pipe F one of the pipes will always be on top, as shown inFigs. 4 and 5, so as to allow the to pass freely through this upper pipewithout having to pass through the oil which will cover the opened endsof two lower ones. The vapor which passes into this chamber issuperheated and the oil converted into vapor, and this vapor passesthrough the pipe X up to the burner, which may be located in any part ofthe building. As a much greater quantity of vapor can be generated atany time than is absolutely necessary, abundant vapor is generated forlighting purposes. Three pipes,V, being used, one of them is always atthe top, and hence there need be no particular care exercised in makingthe connection between the pipes and the vaporizer. The entire burner,as shown in Figs. l, 2,- and 3, is to be placed in the lire-box of anordinary cooking-stove or furnace, as shown in dotted lines in Fig. 2.The pipes B and O extend through the door at the end of the stove, orthrough openings especially made for rlhe small pipes are used for thepurpose them. The burner may be used in any cool:- ing-stove or furnace.

This burner is especially adapted for burning head-light oil, and isequally well adapted for grates, stoves, and furnaces and for cookingand heating purposes.

I do not limit myself to any particular form, shape, or constructionhere shown, for

these may be varied without departing from the spirit of my invention.

Having thus described my invention, I claiml. The combination of areservoir for holding oil, a -pipe extending therefrom, a generator towhich this pipe is connected, asecond reservoir for holding gasoline, apipe, O, extending therefrom, and a pipe, G, for connecting the pipe Oalso with the generator, the gasoline-pipe being provided withperforations, so as to form a burner, I, and a burnerpipe, L, which isconnected to t-he generator, substantially as shown.

2. The combination of a reservoir or tank, a pipe leading therefrom, theretort to which one end of the supply-pipe is connected, a pipe, F,extending from the opposite end of this retort, a vaporizing-chamberconnected tot-his pipe and located to one side of the burners, thechamber U, formed at one end of the vaporizi11g-chamber, and two or morepipes extending from the inner end of the chamber U into thevaporizing-chamber, substantially as described.

In testimony whereof I affix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
